To all whom it may con/2cm: j

.Be it hown that we FRANK Asnwonrn kin of the United and supports for yarn or thread and the like plates to creels of the kind in which yarn or thread is drawn of cops or ring to take the e bobbins or other bodies holding or formed of yarn or thread mounted in groups or series on revoluble supports or otherwise, with the bong of the yarn, thread orthe like of one connected with the end of that on another for them to be drawn d successively'and fresh cops, bobbins or the like lace of those from which am, out or t e like has been drawn 0 can be a plied without stoppage of the warping, or other operations for which yarn, thr or the like is being unwound therefrom. The principal objects of the invention are to improve the mounting of revoluble holders for holding yarn in creels of the same kind and to provide simple and convenient means for hinde' excessive turning of revoluble supports w' e allowing'the turning requisite from time to time lid easily to be efiected, and thereby to facilitate othermaces and thework of attendants or operators on the'creels or other machines and the warping,.beam or other 0 erations in which yarn, thread or the l' e is wound or unwound and the attainment of a high speed of workingin cases in which it is desirable.

Hereinafter for simplicity yarn will be used to mean yarn or thread and in referenw to yarns or-tads considered separately either yarn or thread or yarns or thre will be used as may be desirable for tress, yarn bodies will be um tomean cops or ring frame bobbins or other bodies 0 or hol and com yarnbodies will lm used to m cops or ring 13m or 'nnw, or'w mrrwonrn,

bodies of or holding yarn with the begin- H ning of the yarn of one connected to the end of yarn of another.

With the objects stated the invention consists in mountings for facilitating accurate adjustment and fixing of ivots or bearings for carrying revoluble hol rs for connected yarn bodies in creels and in resilient washers by which possibilities of undesirable movement of revoluble holders for connected yarn bodies due to slackness or faulty fitting. orother causes are taken up and 1t is ensured that that yarn can be freely and properly wn ofi and by which the holders may be kept from continuing unduly to turn,

In the accompanying which illustrate this invention, arts app ed to or in a creel of the kind in w ich yarn is wound from connected yarn bodies are shown in connection with or relation to the parts of the creel to orwith which they are-ap lied or employed while the creel as a who e is omitted, the general construction arr ment and use of creels of the kind be, well hown. Fig. 1 is a side elevation; Fig. 4 is a plan; Figs. 5 and 6 include both side elevations and plans of the parts represented, and Figs. 2 and 3 are sections on planes indicated by the corresponly numbered lines in other p yarn bodies applied. on the holders shall be presented in such positions The same numerals of reference indicate 22 shown serving as examples of the mveral tiers of holders 22 arranged in vertical rows.

According to this invention in oer to facilitate accurate adjustment and Au a; of pivots or bearin for car yr 3 revolube supports in a creel m which yarns are drawn from connected bodies of yarn the pivot on which a revoluble support is to be mounted or the bearing to receive a pivot formed on or secured to a revoluble support is formed or provided, asillush'ated 1n the case of pivots 39-bg Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, conveniently by t e provision of a bolt 40 made to pass through it, with a shank screw threaded throughout or impart to be passed washers 42, 43, with flat or like or other appropriate faces on one side to bear against that rail or support 18 or 30 and on the other side of ,a spherical or approximately spherical curvature to bear in correspondlng hollows formed in a part of the pivot or bearing'39 and in a nut 44 to be screwed 42, 43 like t e hole 41 in the rail 18 or 30,

are made larger than the screwed shank of the bolt 40 to facilitate adjustment. When 1 the pivot or bearing 39 is applied to the rail or support 18 or for carrying it, the

flat or other appropriate faces of the washers 42, 43 being made to bear against the rail or support 18 or 30, the pivot or bearing 39 and shank of the bolt 40 maybe, adjusted in any direction requisite relatively to the rail. or support 18 or 30 and after adjust- "ment secured in position, the sphericall or approximately spherical curved faces al owing the pivot or bearing 39 and the nut 44 for securing it to be tilted or set in any position requisite relatively to the washers 42, 43 and the nut 44 to be screwed-into securing position whatevermay be the position of the pivot 01' bearing 39- and the nut 44 relatively to the washers 42, 43 against which they res ectively bear. In the case illustrated, gui e rods 28 of whichonly one is shown being provided above the groups 34 of yarn bodies it is requisite that the bolts 40 and groups 34 of yarn bodies shall be adjusted, so thattheir centre lines shall be in line with the sides of the guide rods 28 which are directed inwardly in the creel.

In cases in which the revoluble supports --have pivots formed on or secured to them the bearings or the shanks provided for them may be formed with sockets to receive the pivots or with holes or bearings through which the pivots may be made to extend and, if need be, nuts, collars orpegs or other means appropriate may be provided, in

- either case, for holding the pivots in the sockets or holes or bearings.

- to turn Such} resilient washer is formed Furtheraccording to this invention there are provided for use with revoluble holders for connectedyarn bodies in creels, resilient washers which take up possibilities of move- .ment of such holders due to slackness or faulty fitting or other causes and ensure that, when once the holders are adjusted for work, the pegs or fingers for carrying the yarn bodies shall remain pointing in such directions that yarn can. be freely and properly drawn off and may act as brakes tokeep the holders from. ntinuing' undul having a central passage of a bolt, a bolt to be' of or comprises a plate of resilient metal art of circular or other shape convenient rmed with a circular or other suitable hole and with arms extending from it and divergent from the plane of the central part on one face or on both faces as illustrated in the case of one face in Figs. 1, 2, 3, '4 and 6 which show plates 45 each formed of a central collar 451 with three divergent arms 452 bent so that when placed around the shoulders or journals formed on the bolts 40 to which they are respectively applied the divergent arms 452 are downwardly directed so that the central part may be made to bear a ainst or to embrace one object, in the case lustrated a bolt 40, while the tips of the diverging arms 452 may be made to bear againstanother, 1n the case illustrated a holder 22, or so that tips turned in opposite directions my be made to bear against different objects whether or not the central part is made to bear against or to embrace elther of those objectsor another. A washer of this kind beinlg applled around the pivot of a revoluble ol er or a bolt or the like used therewith and being 7 lhat we do claim ,as our invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

- 1. Supporting means for carry a revoluble holder for connected yarn 1es m a rail in a creel comprising a carrymg part for receiving and allowing turning of the revoluble holder and having a hollow to receive a washer and provided with a screw threaded shank to be passed through a holein the rail and to receive anut two washers applied around the shank one presentm a face to bear a inst the rail and a roun ed face to enter t e hollow in the carrymg part and the other a face to bear the rail and a rounded face to enter a hollow .m a nut and a nut to be screwed on' the shank and presenting a hollow to receive the munded fage of the second wafsher,
